Ground Wave propagation is sometime unreliable due to the conditions at the surface or topography that the ground waves may encounter. Iron deposits, humidity or water )lack of or over abundance of) ,vegetation etc.
On the other hand when using ground wave propagation in barren terrain can be used quite effectively because of the lack of variables. Propagation over large bodies of water (Atlantic, Pacific Oceans) is relatively reliable.
What else can I help you with?
What moves forward in waves?
The energy of a wave moves forward with the wave. A wave is moving energy, and the wave carries it in the direction of propagation.
What is called when a wave hits the earths surface?
When a wave hits the Earth's surface, it is commonly referred to as "wave propagation" or "wave interaction." In the context of ocean waves, this phenomenon can also be described as "wave breaking," where the energy of the wave is transferred to the shoreline, causing it to crash and create surf. In seismology, when seismic waves reach the Earth's surface, it is termed "ground shaking."
What is the medium of propagation of earthquake wave?
Rock, soil, etc.
How does the ground motion produced by a P-wave compare to the ground motion produced by a surface-wave?
The ground motion produced by a P-wave is a rapid back-and-forth motion in the direction of wave propagation, causing particles to compress and expand. In contrast, surface waves cause horizontal shaking and rolling motion along the surface, resulting in larger amplitudes and longer durations compared to P-waves.
What wave causes buildings to shake side to side?
The wave that causes buildings to shake side to side is called a shear wave, or S-wave. These waves move through the Earth during an earthquake and displace the ground perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This lateral movement can lead to significant shaking in structures, particularly if they are not designed to withstand such forces.
What is the different modes of the radio wave propagation?
Ground wave, sky wave and space wave propagation
Why ground wave propagation is not suitable for higher frequency?
Ground wave propagation becomes less suitable for higher frequencies because the signal tends to be absorbed by the ground more efficiently, resulting in shorter range and reduced coverage. At higher frequencies, signals are more likely to be affected by atmospheric conditions and obstacles, making ground wave propagation less reliable compared to other propagation methods like line-of-sight or ionospheric propagation.
What is meant by ground wave propagation?
Ground wave propagation refers to the transmission of radio waves along the surface of the Earth. This type of propagation is commonly utilized for medium and long-distance communication, particularly in the AM radio band. Ground wave signals can follow the curvature of the Earth, allowing for extended coverage compared to line-of-sight transmission.
Which seismic wave causes particles in the ground to move perpendicular to the wave's propagation?
S waves, or secondary waves, are transverse seismic waves, meaning that the particles being effected by the wave are moving perpendicular to the wave's propagation.
What is the movement of the ground in a p wave?
In a P-wave (primary wave), the ground moves back and forth in the direction of the wave propagation. This means that the particles in the ground compress and expand as the wave passes through them, creating a push-pull motion similar to a slinky being compressed and stretched.
What is the direction of wave propagation in a transverse wave?
In a transverse wave, the direction of wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave oscillation.
Are longitudinal waves traveling through the ground transverse?
No, longitudinal waves are compression waves that travel through the ground by causing particles to move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. Transverse waves, on the other hand, cause particles to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
What type of propagation is used in telephone communication?
Wave propagation
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the propagation direction in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other. The propagation direction of the wave is the direction in which the wave is moving. The relationship between the wavelength and the propagation direction in a longitudinal wave is that the wavelength is parallel to the propagation direction.
What is the direction of oscillation of the particles of each wave?
In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
The particles in a wave are moving up and down in comparison to the ground. Which best describes the wave producing this motion?
This describes a transverse wave, where particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. Examples include light and water waves.
What is the space wave propagation frequency?
Space wave propagation frequency is nothing special, it is the same frequency of the wave in question, for example WLAN Wifi produces 5.2 GHz radio wave from your computer or from router, so that would be the the space wave propagation frequency in question
